At 10:11 pm ET Monday, we will be closer to the first pitch of the 2026 MLB season than we are to the last pitch of the 2025 World Series

2🤦🏻‍♂️26

This is the real item of note - It was the biggest defensive play EVER and it's not even close 1. Double play last night - 46.24% 2. Double play to send 1924 Game 7 to extras - 32.81% 3. Double play to get Jack Morris out of bases loaded 1 out in top of the 8th 1991 WS G7 - 28.75%

The past three Dodgers “relievers” that have thrown the final pitch of the World Series are Yoshinobu Yamamoto (2025), Walker Buehler (2024), & Julio Urías (2020).

Three of the 12 most pivotal plays in baseball history by cWPA occurred last night

Since 1969: AL East teams are 0-7 in World Series game 7’s. AL Central teams are 0-3 in World Series game 7’s: AL West teams are 7-2 in World Series game 7’s.

Clayton Kershaw will officially join this list when he gets into the Hall of Fame — HOFers to win World Series in final season (min 1 PS game played): 1968 Eddie Mathews DET 1953 Johnny Mize NYY 1951 Joe DiMaggio NYY

The Dodgers ended up winning postseason games in September, October, & November this year.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto: First pitcher to win 3 games in a single World Series since 2001 Randy Johnson First pitcher with 3 road wins in a single WS 4th P to win G6+7 in a WS, joining ‘01 Johnson, 1946 Harry Brecheen, 1925 Ray Kremer — FIRST to do it on road

This is the sixth straight season in which a Will Smith wins a World Series:   2025: C Will Smith (LAD) 2024: C Will Smith (LAD) 2023: LHP Will Smith (TEX) 2022: LHP Will Smith (HOU) 2021: LHP Will Smith (ATL) 2020: C Will Smith (LAD)

Oh Donnie Baseball. Poor Donnie Baseball.

What A Series!

Can I get an extra side of extra innings, please?

World Series Game 7s that went to the 11th and beyond: 1997 Indians-Marlins, 11 innings 1924 Senators-Giants, 12 innings We're about to start the 11th in Toronto. Fasten that seat belt.

Every single ball put in play raises the heart rate

Dear baseball, I love you!! Sincereley, Me

Feels like 2016 again

Wtf!!!

Mike Trout should be able to pitch in relief so that he can strike out Ohtani to finish the World Series.

In the 9th

Can I get a side of Extra Innings to go with my Game 7, please?

Tomorrow, the Los Angeles Dodgers will become the first team to play baseball in three different months in the same postseason #BuiltForSeptember #andOctober #andNovember

Jacob Misiorowski threw 31 pitches at 100.0+ mph tonight That’s the most by a pitcher in a postseason game under pitch tracking (2008)

Runs scored in the Wild Card round: 18 • Dodgers 10 • Guardians 9 • Reds 9 • Tigers 9 • Yankees 6 • Cubs 6 • Red Sox 5 • Padres

8+ shutout innings, 12+ K in a potential Oct. elimination game: Joe Coleman, Tigers, 9 IP, 14 K, 1972 ALCS Cam Schlittler, Yankees, 8 IP, 12 K, tonight That’s all, folks

Yankees 8+ IP, 0 R, 12+ K in Postseason Game Roger Clemens 2000 ALCS Gm 4 at SEA 526th career start (incl postseason) Cam Schlittler 2025 ALWC Gm 3 vs BOS 15th career start (incl postseason)

Ok now he's up to 12 through 8 shutout innings! Cam Schlittler's 12 strikeouts are the most in MLB postseason history in a winner-take-all game

Babe Ruth pitched a 14-inning complete game, outdueling Sherry Smith who also went the distance Ruth’s Red Sox beat the Brooklyn Robins (Dodgers) 2-1 on Del Gainer’s walk-off single in the bottom of the 14th Tied for 2nd-longest WS game (2018 G3 LAD/BOS 18; 2005 G3 CHW/HOU 14; 2015 G1 KC/NYM 14)

With Connelly Early (23y,182d) slated to start tomorrow, he’ll be the youngest pitcher to start a postseason game for the Red Sox since Babe Ruth (21y,246d) started game 2 of the 1916 World Series

Shout out to Long John Reilly, who made his living primarily as an artist (b/c baseball wasn't a practical job in the 1880s) & survived a shipwreck during his first major league season. Years ago I drew every member of the Reds Hall of Fame (everyredshalloffamer.wordpress.com) and he's my favorite.

Reds are going to the playoffs, baby!!!!
